Andreas Schultz

Patrik Ross

Peter Madach

Question 8 of 10

8. The golden year of 1995: HV71 won the title after a fantastic play-off from a team that secured the eighth and last place in the play-offs in the last match. Djurgarden had won the league, and were big favourites in the quarter-final as the best team and HV's nightmare-opponent over the years. After a shocking 5-2 to HV in Stockholm they played again in Jonkoping in front of an extatic crowd in Rosenlundshallen: the excitement was so big that after one goal from HV the fans jumped so much that the old wooden stand broke and down in the hole fell drummer-man Kaspari Barota. HV won in the fifth period, 3-2. Now to the question. Who scored that goal in sudden death? Hint

Niklas Rahm

Owe Thornberg

Thomas Ljungbergh

Stefan Falk

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. For those who know their HV-history this one should not be that tricky: three players have witnessed their jerseys leave the ice to hang from the ceiling. From these four players: logically, one of them is not considered as big as the other. Who? Hint

Fredrik Stillman

Owe Thornberg

Stefan Ornskog

Hasse Sjoo

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. HV's fans are named North Bank Supporters in tribute to their 'ancestors' in old classic Klapp o Klang who stood on the north side in Rosenlundshallen. Too bad they faded away when first they were moved to the east short stand as the standing area on the long side was rebuilt to seats, and secondly their leader Bamse 'retired' from the life as song-inventor and king of the stands. He was easily recognized both of his tallness and his clothing. What did he wear? Hint

A blue overall with photos on the players

A military uniform from 'top to toe'.

A blue tight overall . For big games he painted his face blue.

A black tuxedo and black hat

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This is quite given: the name of the team. A strange name perhaps: HV71. But what does it stand for?

Answer: Huskvarna Vatterstad (united in) 1971

Huskvarna IF and Vatterstads IF united in 1971 to be able to compete with the big clubs in Swedish hockey.

2. Since HV71 was founded in 1971, how many Swedish Championships, senior and junior-level have been won by the club?

Answer: Three

In 1995 HV71 shocked Sweden when they unexpectedly won the championship after sudden death in the last game in the final series. Less well-known is probably that HV could celebrate their champions also in 1996 and 1997, but then the juniors.

Answer: Johan Lindbom at 15.48 in the fourth period

The picture in my mind is crystal-clear: I see Lindbom come into attack-zone, he gets tripped, falls, stands up again, takes the puck, raises his stick and BAM! Lasse Karlsson in Brynas' goal doesnt even react before the net stand out like a cone behind him. The other HV-players jumps onto the ice and are soon followed by the fans. Memories...

Answer: Peter Madach

Unfortunately I do not remember much more about this affair, but I think Sodertalje SK was the other part.

5. In 1958 Jonkoping got the first indoor hockey stadium in Scandinavia, despite having no team in the highest league (and HV71 was not yet founded). What was the name of the stadium?

Answer: Ispalatset

Yes, this is a sort of trap :-) First the stadium was named Ispalatset, but shortly it was changed. To Rosenlundshallen then, under which name it has become known as perhaps the stadium with the best atmosphere in Swedish hockey. Today it has been replaced with the brand-new Kinnarps Arena in order to bring in more money via more seats and sponsor rooms.

6. What is the capacity of Kinnarps Arena (hint: it is more or less always sold out)?

Answer: 6236

Many were afraid HV would lose spectators and the good atmosphere when the new arena was finished. They proved to be wrong. HV71 have sold out the arena for most of the games, and the fans who make the good atmosphere have stayed faithful. Thus far ...

7. What is the highest place HV71 have had at the end of the regular season, during the 1980s and 1990s?

Answer: Third

Nope, HV71 have never been the best team in the league. Not even the second best. But they have been third, and that was in the successful comeback in the top flight back in the days, 1985 to be exact. Better up, as the play-offs by then only included the four best teams. Well there HV fell against Sodertalje in the semifinal but the team under coach Curt Lundmark could be well satisfied with their performance: by then the best placed new team in the league's history.

Answer: Thomas Ljungbergh

After Ljungbergh's goal HV went on to knock out Djurgarden via 5-2 in the third match. In the semifinal spoiled Malmo IF waited with Percy's bought boys. After five tough games HV finally stood as winners in the fifth and final match down in Malmo. In the final Brynas were expected to make mashed potatoes of poor HV71. The rest is history as they say ...

Answer: Hasse Sjoo

Fascinating is that in Kinnarps Arena there are only two jerseys hanging. Did Owe's disappear with Rosenlundshallen? HV71, please bring in some justice here: up with Owe's jersey!

Answer: A black tuxedo and black hat

Too bad Klapp o Klang seized to exist, even if North Bank Supporters make for a good atmosphere in the arena. The invention of new songs has though gone lost. However, I have some ideas. Contact me about it!
